Request an AppointmentWhat is Spinal Decompression?
Non-surgical spinal decompression is a form of motorized traction used at LI Integrated to help relieve back pain. Spinal decompression gently stretches the spine and changes the position and force of the spine. These changes take pressure off of the discs by creating negative pressure in the disc. As a result, spinal decompression may cause herniated or bulging discs to retract, thus taking pressure off of the nerves and the surrounding structures. This non-invasive treatment helps facilitate disc healing by promoting the movement of oxygen, water, and nutrient-rich fluids into the discs. Our spinal decompression therapy Ronkonkoma, NY has used spinal decompression to treat the following conditions:
- Neck Pain.
- Back Pain.
- Sciatica.
- Degenerative Disc Disease.
- Bulging or Herniated Discs.
- Posterior Facet Syndrome.
- Diseased or Injured Spinal Nerve Roots.
Spinal decompression is often used in conjunction with other chiropractic treatment modalities to provide patients with well-rounded care.
Procedure
Spinal decompression performed by our spinal decompression therapy in Ronkonkoma, NY is non-invasive and involves the use of our DRX 9000 spinal decompression table. The mechanized table applies a flexion-distraction force to pull the vertebrae slightly apart, and the resulting pressure shifts herniated or bulging discs back into proper placement. This technique also helps bulging discs replenish their fluid supply, restoring some of their height and easing joint stress. Depending on the degree of herniation, you may be required to return for additional sessions. However, this treatment is safe, effective, and painless, making it an excellent alternative to treating disc issues. Spinal decompression is often combined with other chiropractic treatments like ultrasound therapy, heat or cold therapy, and electrical stimulation. It’s best to consult with our team to determine if you are a good candidate for non-surgical spinal decompression. Those with the following conditions may not be ideal candidates for decompression:
- Fracture.
- Tumor.
- Pregnancy
- Metal implants in the spine.
- Advanced osteoporosis.

A Non-Surgical Solution at LI Integrated
Surgery to remove disc tissue and/or fuse vertebrae should be reserved as a last resort in treating disc-related nerve compression. These surgeries don’t always work, sometimes make things even worse, and require extended downtime for recovery. Here at LI Integrated, we can achieve good results safely and easily with our DRX 9000 spinal decompression table. This programmable mechanized table applies just enough flexion distraction force to pull your vertebrae very slightly apart. The resulting vacuum pressure shifts bulging or herniated discs back into their proper placement. It also helps flattened, bulging discs replenish their fluid supply, restoring some of their former height and easing facet joint stress. This treatment method is quite safe and totally painless, making it an attractive form of conservative care for disc issues.
